Un partie: Stop the presses! Two weeks ago, I reviewed and commented upon Pamela Druckerman’s book “Bringing Up Bebe” in which she makes the claim that French parents, on the whole, raise children who are much more well-behaved, and at earlier ages, than their American counterparts.

Not all plants require the same growing conditions and every plant has its unique characteristic which makes it special for an individual, but not all plants have desirable characteristics.

I have long been aware that my life could have turned out very differently. I have always been a big person, and not just overweight, either.
